Program Format and Formula

The format of each ISN Nexus Symposium will be uniquely tailored to focus on important new data and advancement within a specific field of clinical relevance. Favouring a highly translational approach to disease management each meeting will strive to provide physicians with new insight and hands-on information that they can instantly apply.

Highly sensitive to pressures on agendas, the schedules for the symposia are planned to ensure that clinicians are away from their patients for a minimum period of time (Thursday night until Sunday).

Maximised focus, exchange and results

Each day the program will be specially structured to include one basic and one clinical session to run in parallel, followed by the key element to link research to practice – the translational sessions. The Nexus symposia will also incorporate a series of exciting plenary lectures to be given by leaders within the field, along with industry symposia, poster and oral sessions, and networking breaks.

The translational nature of the content will also be amplified with an inter-speciality approach which will provide an additional view point and increased appreciation and understanding of the complexities of a disease.

ISN’s Nexus Symposia will promote focused and in-depth discussions, networking and exchange of ideas among scientists and physicians who recognize both the luxury of focusing on one specific topic and the need to bridge the “bench to the bedside” gap.
